SPARTANBURG, S.C. – The men’s tennis program has selected Paul Bartholomy, Alan Donald and Michael Schecter to be this year’s captains for the spring 2011 season. These three players are in their fourth year playing for the Terriers, and are the three seniors on the squad.
Coach Ray, spoke highly of these three individuals, saying “These three guys are tremendous seniors and I can’t imagine there being anyone more suitable to lead our team in the captain role this year. Strong character, trustworthy and determination are characteristics that come to mind when I think of each of these guys. On top of that, they are fearless competitors who embody the Wofford spirit and have a strong desire to win with class.”
Paul Bartholomy will be titled captain for the second year in a row. “As a returning captain of the team, I'm really excited to get to help lead the team with Michael and Alan this year,” commented Bartholomy. “The three of us have an awesome bond together and I'm looking forward to helping our team reach its full potential. After a great fall preseason, I see no reason why winning conference wouldn't become a reality for us this spring season.”
Michael Schecter will be entering the spring season on fire after one of the most productive fall seasons in his career. He talked about the progress the team showed in the fall season, saying, “As a team, Wofford tennis is looking very strong right now. The fall season was very successful and all the guys are feeling confident about the spring. I am excited about being one of our captains this year. We have a great group of guys on this team and I am thrilled to help lead us to a conference championship.”
Alan Donald will sport the captain’s band for the first time as he enters his fourth year as a Terrier tennis player this spring. "It is an honor to help lead a team with such great comradery, tenacity, and passion for one another as well as for Wofford College,” said Donald. “This fall, we have put in many hours of training on the court as well as in the gym in preparation for a competitive and successful spring season."
The men’s tennis team wrapped up the fall pre-season around the middle of October, and now has their eyes set to the opening matches January 15th and 16th as they will face ACC competition, Clemson and SEC members, South Carolina.
